Teaser Tuesday--Fragments

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today's teasers come from Fragments (Partials Sequence #3) by Dan Wells. This is from page 19 of the print edition.
"It was all so big, overwhelmingly big, and that was just the city--beyond it there were other cities, other states and nations, entire other continents she had never seen. She felt lost, worn down by the sheer impossibility of finding even one small secret in a world so huge. She watched a flock of birds fly by, oblivious to her and her problems; the world had ended, and they hadn't even noticed. If the last of the sentient species disappeared, the sun would still rise and the birds would still fly. What did her success or failure really mean?And then she raised her head, set her jaw, and spoke. "I'm not giving up," she said.
What are YOU reading this week?

  2. I've decided this summer's goal is to get through the books actually already downloaded on my Kindle and books I've won online. It's so hard not to download more though!
